Forensic Anthropology Research and Development; 2023 NIJ Forensic R&D Symposium

The NIJ Forensic Science Research and Development Symposium is an open meeting where attendees can learn about NIJ-funded research across a variety of forensic science areas. 

NIJ and its Forensic Technology Center of Excellence are committed to improving the practice of forensic science and strengthening its impact by supporting research and development, rigorous technology evaluation and adoption, effective knowledge transfer and education, and comprehensive dissemination of best practices and guidelines to agencies dedicated to combating crime. Advancements within forensic science necessitate a forum to spread information and awareness. 

At the symposium, researchers and practitioners meet to discuss, discover, and share new approaches and applications to elevate the status of forensic science and increase its impact. The symposium brings together practitioners and researchers to enhance information-sharing with the goal of moving research from theory to practice. 

This is one of five videos related to the symposium, which was hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on February 14, 2023.
